Show and Tell Friday!

Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.

Today I am sharing a Autumn candle tray that I put together last week.

The tray is actually a picture frame that I got at a yardsale.

I replaced the paper under the glass with scrapbook paper.

Arranged some harvest candles on top.

And wrapped Autumn berry and leaf garland all around.

Thank you for looking at my new candle tray and have a wonderful weekend!

As I can see, you are still a very busy bee, getting ready for autumn!

What a nice display! It's such a pitty that scrapbooking is almost unknown here in Germany and such pretty paper is really hard to get! I was so delighted when I found some wonderfull dollhouse wallpaper in Paris this summer! I still need to make up my mind on how I will use it for some interesting paper projects.

Hello Kelli, what a very clever and beautiful centerpiece you made! I bet it looks so nice on your table. Thanks for sharing and for again hosting Show and Tell Friday. I appreciate all the time and effort you put forth.Love, Ann

Good morning Kelli, I love the way you have used a picture frame to make this great tray for a fall arrangement with candles..I will search my old frames and see what I can come up with to decorate for Autumn... thanks for sharing. Have a good day, Baba

Kelli,What a great idea! That is a beautiful center piece. I wish I had your creativity, but I have your blog to consult when my decorating ideas get the thumbs down from my family. I love that wreath I bought and can't wait to put some fall leaves on it. Have a great weekend, and if you are going to be affected by Ike stay safe.Love Kerri

Very very nice! I saw a tray very much like yours at a very fancy shop recently - the only major difference was that it had handles! I like your arrangement very much! I need to get started with fall - soon! Time to get up in the attic and drag out those boxes!

Oh, my goodness! That is beautiful. I love the way you used the colors, the "berry" color for the candles is such a nice touch. And your couch is gorgeous. Nice new header on your site. Gotta change mine, too!Love,Nancy

That is beautiful! I was thinking of all your beautiful centerpieces and trays while at Target today. I found a great square chocolate colored melamine plate on clearance. When I get home I'm going to make it the centerpiece for our dinner tomorrow night.

That's beautiful, Kelli! You always have the best and most creative ideas!You were on my mind this morning as I was reading about the hurricane making landfall. I know you're not in the worst area, but I pray all will stay well with you and yours! Do y'all expect a lot of rain still where you are?Take care and thanks for taking the time to do the Show and Tell!Hugs,Amy O.
